The Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau (GTSB) is partnering with Iowa law enforcement agencies for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) “Click It. Don’t Risk It.” campaign, which is a high-visibility seat belt enforcement effort centered around the Memorial Day holiday and will end on June 1.

According to the Iowa Department of Transportation, there have been 88 traffic fatalities in the state so far this year with at least 29 of those people not wearing seatbelts. 

The NHTSA will do a similar high-visibility enforcement campaign in November with its “Click It or Ticket” campaign for the Thanksgiving weekend.
